Do you support the creation and growth of black-owned business? Here are a few ways that YOU can support black owned businesses this month and beyond:

• Open up an account at a local black bank or online
• Support an historically black college or university
• Eat at a black owned restaurant
• Hire a black real estate broker
• Visit a black doctor or dentist for health care
• Get a quote from a black contractor
• Visit an African-American museum or library
• Watch or rent black produced films
• Subscribe to a black newpaper or magazine
• Use a black caterer or event planner
• Visit a black retailer
• Invest with a black-managed publicly-traded firm
• Contribute to a black political candidate
• Visit a black cultural event

I hope that you will join in and become a part of the solution. Embracing the “31 Ways, 31 Days” initiative of National Black Business Month is your entry point.
